1975 New Reflektor 6n23p SWGP or Siemens/Amperex/Telefunken Cca?

Got it.

Thanks

With all the Voskhod 6N23Ps around, priced anywhere from $8.00 on up, how do you choose which to buy (not looking for HG versions)  ??

Does it make a difference if they will be going into a phono stage vs say an amp or preamp ?

Just want to try a pair for the fun of it.

Anybody ??

@scm i bought set of 5 on ebay $35 and made sure they were Voskhod Rocket’s.  I bought from a source in Ukraine thinking if it doesn’t work out it will be a donation to help someone out in their horrible war situation.  I picked one listed as new, tested, VRocket’s set of 5 hoping I could get 2 good ones.  No problems they arrived in about 3 weeks well packed.  They were a mix of dates ‘76, ‘81, ‘83 and did not look new but not bad.  Some labels worn down.  Pins looked good. I tested the tubes and got one closely matched balanced pair 95% GM.  The other 3 were all good but not as balanced and GM in 70’s - 90’s with one being very unbalanced.  Overall a success in my mind.  If I do it again I would look for listed date codes from ‘74-‘79 listed as tested hopefully with results.  But its a crap shoot.  Think of it as helping out Ukrainians.  Good luck!

@tksteingraber Thanks for that. I`ll look for date codes and testing.

I want to compare them to the Reflector 6h23p-eb`s that are in there now.
